35 5w vinyl top options
Gentlemen, what are my options for a kit to replace the vinyl on my 35 5w? I know a few suppliers have closed. Would rather stay tradition, rather than the Juliano kit.

Re: Modern Radials
Heard, that little 3W coupe is awesome! Have a 35 5W and would love to get a similar rake. I'll probably debate a while about the Excelsiors. Where your wheels hard to come by? And is there a build...

Re: Engine ID

Re: Engine ID
Thanks Coupe! If this is a good block I think I'll end up doing like Mart suggested and make it a 239. More questions to follow!!!

Re: Engine ID
Was really surprised about the studs. The remaining 2 at the center water jackets seem to be rather cantankerous?? A little patience and I'm sure they'll finally let go!! Thanks again for all they...

Re: Engine ID
A few hours later heads and most head bold removed! No obvious breaks on the deck surfaces. Where do I look for cracks? The gunk in the oil valley appears much worse than it is. Wipes off easily with...

Re: Engine ID
